One word: Nutella, Yumm!
Dear matthew, I know where you are coming from; those are the same questions I asked myself when I was looking for a school. I looked at their reputation, their location, their services (financial aid/job placement), what I get for my money, etc. Li…
Hi Lynn, just sent my resume to their HR; I am hoping there's an opening in the DFW area. Thank you for the notice.
Hi Patrick, if your school does not have a program to help you get the internship you are looking for do as Chad advised you. The good thing about the internet is you can find restaurants in France and communicate with them and get all the info you…
I like the ube ice cream idea! Of course anything that starts or ends with ice cream sounds good to me, Lol!
Welcome Patrick, I feel your pain. Could not qualify for grants or scholarships myself but managed to get a loan, which I've started paying already. As painful as that's been, it has been worth it and love what I'm doing right now. You keep your chi…

Nicole, "someday" is "Now". don't wait any longer I did it 2yrs ago and my only regret is that I took to long to do it.
Phil, I whole heartely…
Hi Teffani, You made a wise choice. Also you are at a great location for externships. Just get involde in the school as much as possible and if you have a chance to volunteer or visit any of the restaurants in your area DO NOT pass it up, go for it.…
What ship can I get on from TX? Love to get on a BIG ship although I think a sub would be a unic experience.
You could also addd some flatbread, jellies, mustards, and i have had success with grapes. As far as portion your guess is as good as mine. Usually our patrons either demolish the plate or hardly touch it. Wine is a goood accompaniment if your estab…
Happy 4th of July friends!
Happy 4th of July! Be safe.
Well, I had a serious talk with my supervisor last night and it was a good thing. It seems I have access to more cheeses and garnishes than I thought. I knew we have a garde manger shop that services our VIP and banquets; but I was not aware it was…
I am delighted to be part of this group.

Russell S Wait said… - hey chef thank you for you advice believe me i know there is so much more out there than whats in school and i think that's why i get so up tight about things i want to get out there and be the absolute best so some times i try to get to far ahead instead of just focusing on the task at hand again thank you for you time and hope this clears up what i was trying to say

Corey D. Windom said… - yea i bought a couple off CIA's books. that was my original choice but i changed my mind and tried JWU because the CIA is only a culinary school i thought it would be better to be able to interact with people interested in other things and i thought since they dont have a experience requirment i could have possibly helped some of the other students that have little or no experience. Im not saying i know everything but one thing iv realized over the last couple of years is that one of the most effective ways for me to learn things is by working with and helping people who mght not know as much and even if they did know as much or more any nw question i was asked that i dont know is an opportunity to learn. thank you for the book recomendation ill definitly check it out

- thank you for the advice. I agree about school being imprtant. its not that i just chose to not go, i couldnt get the funding. my credit sucks.so the apprenticeship is really my only option. luckily my only 2 options were school or apprenticeship cause either way it goes i will still gain alot.
i know there alot of books out there. i have a ton of them. i buy alot but iv disappointed by several also so i figured by asking experienced chefs what they think i i should read i know ill be getting a solid book. a book i can learn from instead of guy ive never heards opinion.
And also, u asked why im interested in mainly and what direction i want to go but i really cant pick a favorite. a kitchen is a kitchen, a meal is a meal and all types of food have different techniques that are vital parts of what i want my culinary future to be like. so i cant pick a faborite of anything. i love food and everything about it. Your doing what i want to be doing A.S.A.P and thats the apprenticeship. and since u are in it now if u can tell me what u think i should be trying to learn or what books i should read to make the best of the experience than i will definitly respect your recomendations and order them tomorrow if u think they will help. once again i appreciate you replying to my message so quick and thank you for the offer to help. Good luck on the rest of your apprenticeship and extenship

David Hull said… - Hi, Mia. Looks like an exciting summer for you. I am still several months away from my externship (jan/feb) but the Disney properties in Orlando are high on my list. I would love to hear from you about your experience there if you can find the time. I'm sure others would benefit as well from anything you'd like the share. Good luck!

Paul Patterson said… - Mia,
If you have never been to sea on a small ship you are going to have a blast, read some of my comments from my trip. If you have more cooking experience before going back to school put that on your resume and send it to Michael Harants thru this site. You should be able to find is email address on the adopt a ship page. michael.harants@navy.mil These are all young kids onboard the ships (high school mentality), but if you like to teach and special dishes that you can make and show when the boat is moving in four different directions go for it. Good Luck.

Dawn Knowlton said… - Hey Mia!
Minutes are up on the TCA website (www.texchef.net). Click on Chapter Meetings on the bar across the top, then click on Dallas on the left hand bar. Scroll down to find the meeting minutes. This is where they are posted each month. I also will send them out to Jr/Student participants.
This past week I had finals, so now that those are done I plan to start focusing on TCA plans and you should see announcements coming out soon. I will be getting in touch with you to enlist your help with this too! I really want to work on keeping attendance to our meetings growing, even during the summer when some of the schools are on hiatus or have shortened semesters.
Thanks for contacting me! I will be back in touch in the next few days! :o)
